Han De just walked in and hadn't figured out what was going on when Liu Xia dragged him in as a scapegoat.
Previously in Taohua Village, Han De had already been infuriated by Li Chuan, and now hearing Liu Xia ntion a thief targeting his fiancée made him furious!
An underdog? What the hell, how dare anyone try to put a green hat on my head?
This is simply outrageous!
"Aunt Liu, who are you talking about? I'd like to see who's so scheming that they want to ss with the Zhou Family!"
Han De sneered coldly, rubbing his hands eagerly.
Zhou Ruolan was speechless. "Second Aunt, you hold Young Master Han in such high esteem, why don't you marry him?"
Liu Xia was taken aback, cursing internally, I would love to marry Young Master Han, but he wouldn't want !
Still, on the surface, Liu Xia didn't dare to lose her temper. She could only put on a stern face and scold, "Ruolan, you've gone too far. How could you say such things?"
"Too far, my foot! Grandpa is still sick; I don't want to get into it with you. Don't bother !" Zhou Ruolan was really annoyed.
"Ruolan! Where's the underdog Aunt Liu ntioned?" Han De ca over and asked.
"Right in front of you. Did you lose your eyes?" Zhou Ruolan retorted irritably.
"There…" Han De scanned the area and his gaze landed on Li Chuan.
As soon as he recognized Li Chuan, Han De felt his heart skip a beat and with a face of dread, he stamred, "Li... Dr. Li?"
Seeing Han De's fearful deanor towards Li Chuan, Wang Qiuyue and Liu Xia both looked puzzled.
Liu Xia couldn't help but ask, "Young Master Han, is it him? You know him?"
Li Chuan smiled faintly at Han De. "Young Master Han, let's have a al together soday. Isn't my cooking especially delicious?"
Eat your heart out!
Han De almost swore. After returning from Taohua Village, he had to get off the highway in Jiangzhou City; he couldn't help it, his insides were in disarray. He spent two days in the proctology departnt, and that burning sensation is sothing he never wants to experience again!
So, when he saw Li Chuan, he felt like his insides were on fire, as if soone was stabbing with knives!
Moreover, he didn't dare to say anything overly harsh to Li Chuan because he still couldn't get over what happened at Taohua Village's committee office, where Li Chuan single-handedly took down the sixth and seventh-ranked on the Black List in an instant!
"Second Aunt, words shouldn't be spoken recklessly. Dr. Li is highly skilled in dicine; he's not the underdog you ntioned." Han De said reluctantly.
This feeling of being cuckolded and still having to speak in defense of the other party was truly unpleasant.
Wang Qiuyue watched with intrigue. She could sense that sothing had happened between Li Chuan and Han De, and it seed Han De was quite afraid of Li Chuan.
"Alright, Li Chuan, don't argue with these people. I'll take you inside first."
Zhou Ruolan took Li Chuan by the arm and walked into the house.
Han De: "..."
Liu Xia was also amazed by this scene. What was going on?
Is this still the Young Master of the Han Family?
Seeing his fiancée holding another man's arm and not reacting at all?
Could it be that this guy has so peculiar hobby?
Soon, Zhou Ruolan's father, her second uncle, and a few n from the Zhou Family all hurried back from outside.
Among them, there were several secretaries and directors, all of whom were from the Zhou Family.
Zhou Ruolan's father, Zhou Wei, is now the director of the financial bureau, a square-faced, tall and robust man.
Second Uncle Zhou Ping is also a director, overseeing market supervision, but compared to Zhou Wei, his presence is relatively weaker.
These were all influential figures. They wouldn't look down on soone based on their background or origins. Even if they did internally, they would still put on the necessary facade.
People in high positions often have gentle exteriors but are tough when it cos to getting things done.
Soon, the door to the old master's room opened.
Clad in a white coat, Zeng Youqian ca out alongside a few other white-coated individuals.
The Zhou Family's core mbers hurriedly went up to greet them.
Zeng Youqian, this person, serves as the dean of the provincial center hospital. He's very experienced and capable, yet Li Chuan frowned upon seeing him.
Zeng Youqian had a pair of mismatched eyes and a fishy mouth, indicators of soone deceitful, with deep cunning and no moral compass.
"Dean Zeng, how is my father?"
Zeng Youqian wore a very serious expression, "The old man's condition is dire. In my opinion, we can only leave it to fate."
Upon hearing this, everyone in the Zhou Family was thunderstruck, each showing a grim expression.
The old man was the stabilizing force of the Zhou Family. If sothing happened to him, it would be a significant loss!
"Dad, Li Chuan knows Chinese dicine. He's very skilled. Let him give it a try."
At this mont, Zhou Ruolan suddenly spoke up.
With Zhou Ruolan's words, everyone in the room turned their gaze to Li Chuan.
There were all kinds of looks—doubt, surprise, ridicule.
If even Dean Zeng couldn't handle it, how could a Chinese dicine practitioner, and such a young one at that, possibly cure the old man?
Zhou Wei knew his daughter well enough to know she wouldn't ss around with sothing so important. He glanced at Li Chuan and then asked her, "Are you sure?"
Zhou Ruolan replied, "Dad, I witnessed Li Chuan's magic with dicine in Taohua Village. I think he can do it."
Zhou Wei pondered for a mont, then looked at Li Chuan, "Dr. Li, what do you think?"
Li Chuan replied, "It's doable, there's no problem."
Zeng Youqian shook his head and said, "Director Zhou, your father's health is very poor and can't withstand any more strain. Are you sure you want this young man to treat him? If anything goes wrong, your father might..."
"Moreover, with today's Chinese dicine, there are too many frauds. Does this young man even have a practicing license?"
Zeng Youqian's words carried weight, and it made many hesitate.
Liu Xia seized the opportunity to chi in, "Exactly, Chinese dicine is just random tinkering claiming to have seen the ailnt, who knows if this kid is just trying to muddle through?"
"For the past two years, Dean Zeng has been looking after the old man; no one could know his condition better than Dean Zeng!"
With Liu Xia's words, the core mbers of the Zhou Family started discussing it, and most were unwilling to let Li Chuan go in to treat him.
"Quiet!"
Yet Zhou Wei remained calm, unaffected by the discussions. He nodded towards Li Chuan, "Young man, give it a shot."
Zhou Wei was highly respected in the Zhou Family, and upon hearing what he said, it made it difficult for the others to oppose.
Subsequently, Li Chuan entered Old Master Zhou's room.
In fact, as Li Chuan walked into the Zhou Family Manor, he noticed sothing unusual about the house.
He approached Old Master Zhou's bedside, and after a careful examination, he already had an answer.
Zhou Wei: "Young man, how is it?"
